The murders in each building. Really cool atmosphere. Excellent tour guide. Great weather. Really, really, really great.

Great fun on a Summer night!

Christine_K, Jun 2024
Steve was a great all-around guide and was very knowledgeable. We thought it was funny we had just eaten at the most haunted building in Salida. The setting was awesome in the evening in summer, and all the content was intriguing and enough to make you question things. It was fun!

Response from Host, Jul 2024

Thanks! We're happy you had fun.

Great time!

Jami_H, Apr 2024

Guide was great. Very knowledgeable about the area. Even had a paranormal sighting/communication. Salida is a cool little town to tour with a dark history, which made for a great experience.

It's always fun when the spirits come out to play. Thanks for the great review!

Very entertaining evening!

DJ did an outstanding job walking us through the sordid past of Salida! We had a great time, and I’m really intrigued to get dinner at that Mexican restaurant!

Learned a lot of fun facts and heard some good stories. Others canceled and we had a private tour. Steve did not cut anything out and probably added more. Great time.

Fun Activity to Kill Time in a Small Town

Jamie_B, Jul 2022
This was a fun way to enjoy an evening tourist activity with family & friends. I enjoyed the stories and bits of history. Thankfully the weather was cool and it didn’t rain on us. I would give this 3.5 stars for a good rating. Price was reasonable. Booking and confirmation was easy. Instructions were clear and reminders sent. Our local guide had good stories but he was a bit snarky which is okay- we all have good days and bad days so giving some grace there. Ways to improve? Can’t think of much because I feel like I got what I expected and paid for. I would recommend it for something fun to do in a small town.

Response from Host, May 2023

What a strange review. After five years of giving tours, we have less than 1% of reviews with less than a five-star rating. In fact, we have over 850 5-star ratings across all the travel platforms. At the end of every tour, we make a statement to all guests that if they are not 100% satisfied they should contact the office for a full refund. You did not do this. But our guides are required to review every guest after every tour. You are the only guest in the last month to receive an unsatisfactory rating. A person in your group interrupted and was loud and attempted to become the center of attention. In a large group setting that cannot happen and our guides are trained to redirect or confront when a guest is not taking social cues. Not every person is cut out for a big group setting and it sounds like this was not an appropriate venue for you given that you enjoyed the stories and felt the experience was worth what you paid. You even recommend the tour to others but give it an unsatisfactory rating. Very contradictory review.

Funny, entertaining, interesting

Kelli_M, Oct 2021
Enjoyed Steve’s storytelling and tour of beautiful Salida. Crazy to see the changes over the years. Steve had a good rapport with the crowd.

Response from Host, Oct 2021

Thank you!

Party of two and Ghosts

Megan_M, Aug 2021
The funny and knowledgeable tour guide Steve was amazing. It was just me and my fiancé that showed up but he still gave us the full tour. We both agree that the street light going on and off was one of the best parts. Definitely recommend for a awesome night, great price and started on time. Thank you so much and now we want to take the other tour, the Wild West History.

Response from Host, Sep 2021

Your detailed, positive review is greatly appreciated! Thank you

If you’re looking for chilling history and a fun tour guide, come to the Salida walking tour! We loved hearing about the crazy events in this amazing town! So many stories, spirits and still friendly people! We are going back to town today to spend more time learning. Great for teens and adults. Will definitely do another tour with the company ASAP!
